Minutes of the last meeting

There were no requested changes to minutes from our prior meeting.

Update of the NDSA meeting in December

A few of our group were at the NDSA organizational meeting held in Washington, D.C. in December, and reported on their observations of the meeting. Michael expressed concern about the absence of "big" content holders from the room. He was hoping to see more commitment - institutions with a lot of content, such as the ARL libraries. There were not a lot of them in the room. Otherwise he thought it was a helpful meeting. John felt it helpful to hear what everyone's definition of an action group was, and that the back and forth with more granularity about the working groups helped him figure out which groups he can help contribute to. Everyone felt that the new Wiki with additional information up there and the opportunity to freely comment upon it, an agenda planning perspective, list of goals, felt like it was very productive. Abbie - LC perspective - January to-dos. Cathy - agreement on everything our group discussed. Membership - the biggest debate/camps. Who are the gatekeepers. Charter was presented. Feedback was positive.

Discussion and planning to move forward with our two work areas
